6 ml sea buckthorn oil
10 ml apricot kernel oil
10 ml sweet almond oil
12 drops rose geranium oil
12 drops ylang ylang essential oil
50 ml jojoba oil

Method

Add the ingredients to a spray bottle and shake well once closed to mix together.

Sea buckthorn oil is rich in colour and can stain clothing. For this reason, allow the oil to absorb thoroughly before dressing or mix a few drops with a favourite body lotion to dilute. Alternatively, add a few drops to a bath for a hydrating and wonderfully scented soak.

To make without sea buckthorn oil, use the following recipe:

4 drops sweet orange oil
10 ml apricot kernel oil
10 drops rose geranium oil
12 ml sweet almond oil
12 drops ylang ylang essential oil
54 ml jojoba oil

Citrus oils can cause photosensitivity so use this oil after and not before sun exposure. Use sparingly as a little goes a long way. Store for 1 month.
